Chapter 86 Basket, You Are Like the Sea

Regardless of Delong's ignorance, Xia Tian yelled directly at Delong in Chinese, "Sichuan hot pot is delicious!"

Deron "????"

The black man looked dumbfounded.

What is Xia Tian talking about?Is it Chinese?But I don't understand Chinese.

"What are you talking about?" Deron asked puzzled.

And Xia Tian smiled mysteriously and stopped talking, and pointed to their Jazz bench by the way, Deron also looked over, and then the whistle sounded.

time out.

Sloan also decisively called a timeout when Deron was blocked. This hot pot had a great impact on their morale.

After the timeout ended, Xia Tian was also replaced. Because of the lack of oxygen, Xia Tian was tired after playing for 6 minutes, so after discussing with Adelman, he left the game to rest.

On the other side, Hayward continued to be present, and Deron was replaced. It seemed that Deron and Kirilenko were going to lead the second team together.

After all, Hayward is doing well now, and Sloan is very satisfied when he sees it, and he is also ready to train Hayward.

For the Jazz's frontcourt ball, Millsap passed the ball to Hayward beyond the three-point line with a lob.

"Shh."

Return!

Hayward never missed a shot today. The only two shots he missed were due to a layup and a confrontation with Xia Tian. Seeing Hayward's performance, Sloan couldn't help but nodded again.

For this rookie, Sloan is really more and more satisfied, just like a mother-in-law, but it is a pity that this seedling was discovered only now, and Sloan couldn't help sighing.

If he had made good use of Hayward's words before, maybe he would not have lost so much in the previous games, but fortunately, it is only the end of November and December is not yet, and it is not too late to find out that the cultivation is actually not too late.

However, compared to Sloan's satisfaction, Kirilenko and Deron looked at Hayward with unkind expressions. After Hayward is played, he will definitely have more shots and more playing time.

This is not good news for Deron and Kirilenko. First, Millsap and Jefferson played out, so Kirilenko had to make way for the third position.

Now that Hayward is playing again, isn't this forcing him to play as a substitute?

The Rockets attacked, and after Xia Tian left the field, Harden regained the banner of the organization. In the first half of the game, because of Xia Tian's needs, Harden's current statistics are not very good.

2 points and 3 assists, this is Harden's data in the first half of the quarter, which has indeed shrunk too much compared to before.

Pushing the ball to the frontcourt, Harden faced Ronnie Price with a change of rhythm, and then a quick retreat step passed the ball to Dragic who cut inside.

After Dragic received the ball, he faltered, fooling Lagabel in front of him for a moment, and then broke through the European step to pick the basket and scored two points for the Rockets.

24:23
The Rockets lead again by one point, but the lead is not that great.

Soon, the first quarter of the game is over,

36:36
Harden also managed to get a good stat in the second half of the quarter, with 7 points and 4 assists. Although not as dazzling as the Clippers in the last game, it is still very good.

And Yao Ming scored 6 points and 5 rebounds at the end of the first quarter, defending his dignity as the league's top center.

But compared to Hayward's data, the data of the two is not so good-looking. Throughout the first quarter, Hayward scored 18 points and 4 assists!
Although there are a lot of shots, but the hit rate is high! 12-7, 58.3% hit rate, really surprised everyone.

It didn't take long for the second quarter to start, but because Xia Tian's face was still flushed, Adelman didn't let Xia Tian play, but sent the tough Harden to continue to play the second quarter.

While dispatching Harden, Adelman also dispatched Lowry, intending to let Lowry share Harden's organizational tasks and allow Harden to take a little rest.

So the Rockets' lineup is Lowry, Harden, Hayes, Brad Miller, Hassan, a tall lineup of twin towers.

The Jazz sent Deron, CJ. Miles, Kirilenko, Millsap, Francisco Elson.

After playing, Deron also gave the Rockets a bad start. After dribbling the ball from outside the three-point line, he scored a three-pointer against Lowry, and then even dunked Kirilenko at the basket.

But the Jazz gave the Rockets a bad start, and the Rockets players naturally couldn't bear it. Lowry and Harden also fired one after another. Here Lowry scored 2+1 with a layup, and Harden started to rain on the outside three-pointer.

Not long after playing like this, the Jazz's score was finally opened. In just 5 minutes, the Rockets played a 14:8 offensive wave.

50:44
The score was stretched by six points all of a sudden, and Sloan couldn't help but feel worried. The Rockets' second team is too good, and the two starters on his side are both on the court.

Just like that, he was pulled away by six points!And this Harden is only a second-year rookie. Is this organization, this offense, and this overall situation really a second-year rookie?
There was no way, Sloan had to call a timeout to replace Hayward and Jefferson, hoping to restore this decline.

But when the timeout ended, not only Hayward, but also Xia Tian and Yao Ming returned to the court. Although Xia Tian's face was still flushed at this time, it seemed that his venting state seemed to be much better.

The game restarted, the Jazz had the ball, and Hayward slowly ran to the 45-degree position, standing in front of Xia Tian and looked at him with concern.

"Are you okay, Xia Tian?"

Xia Tian waved his hand, "It's nothing serious, play well, don't let the water go, it's just a little blushing, it doesn't affect it."

"Don't worry, even if you are hurt, I won't show mercy to you." Hayward said solemnly.

"So ruthless!" Xia Tian returned pretending to be surprised.

"Of course, after all, you are my lifelong enemy! If I let you down, wouldn't I look down on you?"

"That's right."

After the two chatted briefly for a while, Deron threw the ball to Hayward. After Hayward caught the ball, he changed direction and broke through, but his breakthrough speed really couldn't get rid of Xia Tian.

Helpless, Hayward had to pull back, took a step back and then took a step back and shot directly.

"Shh."

Still in!
Xia Tian looked at Hayward a little dumbfounded, "Did you take medicine today? So fierce?"

"Tch, you don't understand, today's basket is like the sea, no matter how you shoot, it's comfortable." Hayward said proudly with the corners of his lips curled up.

And Xia Tian was speechless, who did he learn this kind of narcissism from!And why does this sentence of comfort always feel so similar to what I love to say in the game!
Is it?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!Hayward's narcissism must not have been learned from me, yes, definitely not!
The Rockets attacked, Xia Tian advanced with the ball, and then gave the ball to Yao Ming who was about to play with a long pass before halftime.

Yao Ming caught the ball and jumped lightly, followed by an extremely loud sound.

"bang"

On Jefferson's head, Yao Ming steadily dunked the ball. This kind of inside dominance, the basket said that I can only let out a scream, right?

After the return of Hayward and Xia Tian, ​​the two sides launched a confrontation battle again, but unlike the first quarter, the number of singles played by the two now has significantly decreased.

It's more about creating opportunities for teammates and then scoring.

The Jazz attacked again, and Hayward successfully cut in under the cover of Jefferson. Deron passed the ball helplessly after seeing it. Seriously, Deron didn't want to pass it to Hayward!

However, if this kind of ball is not passed, it may be scolded again. There is no other way but to pass the ball directly and send the ball to Hayward. Hayward catches the ball and makes a backhand layup.

After hitting the basketball board, he entered the Nets smoothly.

On the other hand, Xia Tian kept feeding Yao Ming. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming easily put the ball into the basket facing Jefferson. It didn't take long for the second quarter to pass like this.

62:59
After Hayward came on the court, he successfully chased the score to 3 points for the team, and his own score also reached 26 points, becoming the Jazz's first high scorer.
